Bitcoin Rebound Driven by Strengthening Long Term Holder Base

Bitcoin’s recent rebound reflects a growing base of long-term holders, according to Bernstein analysts. The research note highlights that US spot Bitcoin ETFs and corporate treasury accumulation are reshaping ownership, contributing to a more resilient market structure. Over the past week, Bitcoin rose 7% to $73,317, outperforming gold and major equity indexes, while Ether increased 9% to $2,260 despite heightened geopolitical tensions in the Middle East.

Shift Toward Long-Term Ownership

Approximately 60% of Bitcoin supply has remained inactive for more than a year, indicating a market increasingly dominated by long term holders rather than short-term traders. ETF inflows, totaling over $2.1 billion in three consecutive weeks, and corporate purchases by entities such as Strategy, which acquired 66,231 BTC year-to-date for around $5.6 billion, are reinforcing this trend.

As more Bitcoin moves into ETFs, corporate treasuries, and long-term wallets, short-term selling pressure may decline, offering greater stability during periods of market stress. Analysts suggest this shift strengthens Bitcoin’s position as a highly portable, liquid, and low counterparty-risk digital asset.
